[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5163164, member: 77939"] Isn't this the way it was back when? IE designed routes as a whole. The center team massaged them for efficiency. The driver fine tuned them to perfection. A good center team allowed a seasoned driver to run his route for the most efficiency(generally). A driver knew break times, closures, lunch, where to go, who to trust and count on for a favor(when in a bind) etc. The customers counted on their UPS guy like clockwork. That's how it used to be. The strike and going public changed all that forever. A regular CPU feeder run can be fine tuned by a driver too....to a point. Little tricks of the trade..... The problem with CD in FEEDERS is that the yard and customer scenarios are rarely as written. Our yard is huge. Trailers aren't where they are supposed to be. If a new guy or vet goes to a new yard, hub etc. and doesn't know the procedures for that yard....who is he going to ask? Someone in Mumbai? Some hubs are completely deserted over night..... [/QUOTE]
